This is going to be pretty long. But I beg you, if you're reading this Joe, to read it.

Hey, my name's Brett. I'm only 15, but I was at one of your concerts while in the womb...I think that must've done something to me. I've always listened to your music. Even as a baby my Dad would always play it. He could play almost all of your songs. He'd always play Motorcycle Driver. It was great.

However my parents split when I was 5, and I went to live with my mother. I'd visit my Dad about once every few months for a weekend or so..Whenever I went there, he'd always play his Guitar, and I'd love to listen. You were his idol. He always wanted to be like you. He always wanted me to play Guitar too.

Now I always wanted to play like him, but whenever I picked up a Guitar, I didn't really feel it. Then, in December of 2007, my Father unexpectedly took his life at only 35. In his Will\Letter, he said (And I quote): "Brett, play all the music you can." I felt like it inspired to to play. Ever since that day I feel like I'm meant to play Guitar. Whenever I pick one up I feel like I'm in my own place, with my dad.

Now, Joe, I'm not all that great yet. I can't play any of your songs, but I plan on learning all of 'em. I've almost got the crowd chant. A nice one to begin with I think...

I just wanted to say thanks for inspiring my Dad and I. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be playing. I'm going to do everything I can do, and work harder than I have ever worked to succeed in this. This is what I want, and this is what I'm going to do.
